Contract Performance Project Manager

I need an experienced project manager who can take full ownership of contract performance once a deal has been signed. Your priority will be to translate each contract into clear, measurable obligations, then track and report on them until close-out.

Typical responsibilities will include:
• Building a performance dashboard that captures milestones, deliverables, payment schedules and compliance checkpoints
• Holding regular check-ins with internal teams and vendors to keep everyone aligned and proactively address slippage or scope creep
• Flagging variances, drafting change-order recommendations and gaining approvals in line with our governance model
• Preparing concise status reports for senior leadership and feeding accurate data into our finance system so invoicing and cost forecasting stay on track

You will work closely with our finance and development leads, so familiarity with basic cost control principles and agile/product lifecycles is helpful, but your core strength must be contract management and performance oversight. Tools we currently use include Excel, PowerBI, Jira and SharePoint—feel free to suggest alternatives if they improve visibility or automation.

To be considered, attach a detailed project proposal that outlines:
• Your approach to standing up a contract performance framework in the first 30 days
• Sample dashboards or report templates you have used in past roles
• The cadence of meetings and communication methods you recommend
• Any software you plan to deploy and why

I will review proposals this week and invite shortlisted candidates to a brief video call before making a final decision.
